About Me:  I have been a photographer for many years. For so long, in fact, that I can no longer imagine my life without a camera to capture its special moments. It took me quite some time before I was able to connect myself to being an artist, because in my mind a photographer and an artist were two distinctly different things. While they were both creative, they used entirely different processes to achieve their artistic goals. Over time, however, I have recognized the remarkable similarities in the way that we look at visual elements such as composition, colors, lines, and light. I have come to understand that what constitutes fine art stands apart from whatever techniques that we artists use to ultimately reach that special place. My photographic interests have always been quite broad. Everything interests me, and my eyes are always scanning the world around me, composing what I see, as if through a camera lens. I believe that this comes from having learned to observe and interpret what surrounds me. My focus is on the candid capture of what I observe, whether the subject is people, landscapes, or nature. Planning is only a minimal consideration for me. Instead, I strive to remain aware and in the moment while allowing myself to be drawn into the scene by its combination of artistic elements. My attention is on the sounds, smells, light, colors, and above all, on the important visual narrative that will be instilled within each of my images. If what I observe stirs something within me, then I want to record it so that I can return and experience it again. I want to remember what it made me feel at the very moment it was captured. I also want to share my work with others, in hopes that my images will reach out to the viewer and foster an emotional connection with them as well.

Hello and Welcome to my store! I am excited to have my art on the Internet for you to enjoy. Most of the art here began with one of my photographs. Some are created designs using digital technology in many different forms. What I love about this site is that it is specifically designed to cater to YOUR needs. You can have text changed on the front or inside of a card to what you would like it to say; have text that you like on one card put on a different image; customize a card yourself with what you want it to say; and many other things. All you need to do to makes these changes is send me a note on the Contact Artist link, and I will respond as soon as possible. Some cards are left blank so you can add your own handwritten personal message. Another benefit of this store is that you can order in bulk. You don't have to order all the same card to get the discount rate, either. You can have all the same cards or all different ones, the higher the number you order, the better the price! Boxed sets of cards make great gifts for anyone on your gift list. Be sure to contact me if you have any questions. I will be more than happy to help you find your perfect greeting for that special occasion. You can also find products with my work at my Zazzle Store http://zazzle.com/livinglife*. Please enjoy your visit in my store, and I look forward to hearing from you! For my Fine Art prints visit my website at www.livinglifephoto.com.
